MB. EDITOR : In your last- issue I
notice that acorrespondent stated
that Rufe Bryant, Bill McClure,
Pick Johnson, and Trapp Mc
Manus in this,, the -Mountain
Creek section of our county, are
going, into the tobacco business
this year, and that A. C. Penn has
built a barn in which to cure the
tobacco. Well, there isn't a word
of truth in the last part of this
statement. Abe Penn hasn't built
any tobacco barn, except his
mouth, and is not likely to do so.

OUR DENNY CONTRIBUTOR
Gives Some Sound Political
Advice Alone With a
Budget of News Items.
Hail welcomed Advertiser 1
We aro proud to know that the
oldest paper in South Carolina
again lives; and that its editor
again stands at his post of duty to
breath forth through his editorials
a spirit pacificating in nature (for
when have the political elements
of South Carolina been in so dis
turbed a state?) conservative in
tone, and purely Democratic in
principle. And although the
latest issue has not reached us,
yet we predict that as the three
Babylonish rulers of old came
forth from Nebuchadnezzer's fiery
furnace, 60 the ADVERTISER has
come forth from the consumed
ADVERTISER building without the
smell of fire upon its garments,
and brighter for having been tried
in the-fiery heat.
Speaking of politics in the
State, is there one so blind but
that he can see the skies darken
ing with the browing storm, or so
deaf but that he can hear the
murmurings of distant thunders
-the forerunners of political cy
clone and disaster? With three
factions in the Democratic ranks
each calling, or doubtless about to
make a call for a convention for
the purpose of choosing a full
State ticket to suit factional
views, and from the tone of some,
to have their way or plunge the
entire state beneath the, as yet,
calm Republican waves, what can
South Carolinians look for if there
is not a speedy providential in
teference to thwart the machina
tions of some professed liberty
loviug "ousted" Democrats?
Unless the wise and timely ad
vice given by Col. Earle of Green
ville in a letter of recent date to
the News and Courier, (which let
ter, by the way, has more sense,
judgment, and wisdom in it than
all the calls made to the "dear
people,") is heeded, and the course
of some, who are doubtless con
scientious in what they are doing,
is still persisted in-then brand
us a non compos mentis if the
state is not plunged to the lowest
depths of degradation, morally,
financially, and politically.
Some call for the "elbow-touch
of 76," all along the ranks-a con
dition needed and no doubt greatly
desired by every man, whether he
belongs to the "Tillman faction'1
or the "anti-Tillman faction;''
whether to the "straightouts" 01
to the faction without an "appel
lation" as the Newberry Herald
and News-yet the great and all
important question : "how to ob
tain this unity?" is still unsolved,
If we understand the meaning
and intent of these "calls" and
"addresses" to the people, the
main purpose is to unite the white
men of South Carolina, to unify
the various factions, and to har
monize the now three "Democratic
parties" of the State.
While this is the main purnose
is it the only purpose? We trov
not. If it was, then might we ex
peet and have and feel the "elbow
touch of 76."
No, gentlemen of South Caro
lina, you may write and work ant
make calls-appealing to Stat<
pride and urging the necessity o:
"Democratic unity" and "whiti
supremacy" (and God grant w<
may obtain the former and for
ever have the latter) yet our hum
ble opinion is that nothing sher
of a Republican assault upon th
governmental breastworks, with i
determined effort to capture th
offices of the state and wrest fron
the hands of the rightful owner
the reins of government-we re
peat that we believe this, and thi
only, will ever bring the dividei
Democracy of the Palmetto Stat
where it was when it wrested th
State's trailing banner from th
hands of the carpet-bagger? ' an
flinging it to the breeze, shouted
"over1 a proud, thankful, unitec
Democracy forever wave !"
Perhaps some may infer that w
mean to say a. Republican U{
rising and a repetition of the "day
of '76" would be -a blessing, f an
that we would be glad to see th
Democracy endangered. To BVLO
this question is submitted : whir
is worse, for the negroes and carpel
baggers to endanger the peace an
Democracy of the State by an e?
fort of their own to gain contro
or for the divided Democracy \
endanger it by continual, persis
eVit distrust, discord, and disunion

. The first railway to Jerusalem
will, it is reported, be opened
the spring of tho coming year.
It is a short line, running only
from Joppa, the nearest port on
the Mediterranean, and intended
to accommodate the growing pas
senger and other traffic between
that place and the Holy City.
The work of construction is being
carried out by a French company,
who began laying down thc line
in April, 1890. It is stated that
over eight hundred vessels of vari
ous kinds annually land 40,000
persons at Joppa whose destination
is Jerusalem. On the completio.i
of the railroad, tourists will bo able
to buy a return ticket from the
port to Jerusalem for twenty

-A Good O. a on Sen. Sutler.
Judge Fe!ch, of Michigan, speak
ng of his experience in the senate,
?ells the following story :
"Butler, of South Carolina, and
? got acquainted in a way which I
mist tell you about. One day, the
lenate haying just adjourned,
Senator Butler turned to me, and
0 my great surprise, said : 'Senator
felch, if you are going up town I
ihall be glad to accompany you'
We walked tip D street, north
>f Pennsylvania avenue, where
he senator lived. Just as we
urned into D street a gust of
vindtook the senator's straw hat
?ff and it started on its run, as
lats always do in such circura
itances. Butler started after it,
md that alone made me laugh to
iee a man of his prodigious dignity
chasing an ignis futuna like that.
3ut the fun was heightened when
1 little dog-one of those mis
jhievous little terriers-rushed out
>f a house and, grabbing the truant
mt, flew with it into the open door
vay: of a private housa. Butler,
low excited, ran after him.
Up stairs skurried the dog with
he hat. and up went the senator,
fhe door of a bed room stood
(lightly ajar, and the little rascal
if a dog pushed it open, with the
lignified senator close at his
?oels.
; "In about two minuten Senator
butler came hastily down stairs
md into the street,blush in g scarlet,
ie had his hat, but he was dread
tilly agitated.
" 'My God ! Felch,' he whispered,
3he was taking a bath.'
"And then he told me that the
ittle dog had led him straight
nto a little bed chamber. 'See
tere, Felch, if you will not tell
his story on me, I'll vote for
mything Michigan wants,' he
idded
"We both kept our word," said
Ir, Felch with a little chuckle.
Tillman in Marlboro.
A correspondent writing to the
Register from Brownsville, Marl
bro County says;
"Tillman has just as many
riends in Marlboro County to-day
is he had two years ago I have en
mired ofsoveralof his most prom i
?ent supporters in different parts
>f the County, and the invariable
eply is that his friends think
nore of him than ever, and the
?ame old political dead beats and
heir representatives are all that op
pose him. The great*majority of
he people dont seem to beim.
)r?ssed so seriously about all this
al ked of and most fearful division.
[ have only one standpoint to view
t from and that is the Democratic
party of South Carolina is fighting
me of the most Malignant types
)f Radical sm that the State ever
lad to contend with and jvhile our
Democratic State Executive com
mittee intend good, it has done
wrong in not shutting the door in
their face. Make, them pay the
penalty for all independents and
party usupers. I ask who is A. C.
Haskell? Is he any more than J.
Hendricks McLane? Can the
respectability of the State respect
him any more? He (Haskell) has
affiliated with the negro, voted
for the Republican nominee for
Congress, and by so doing he hoped
to i be elected to office. Did J.
Hendricks McLane ever do more?
He (Haskell) claims to have "real
blue blood" in his veins. Ah, me
I am sorry for any man's blood
that would try and throttle hie
State and return it to carpet bag
rule to gratify his own low, selfish
ends.
"We talk about conservatism
and conciliatory measures and all
such stuff, but the die is cast, the
line is inseparably drawn and the
Democracy of the State might at
well prepare to fight a low gradt
of Republicanism. All this tall
about any man but B. R. Tillman
is sheer folly. You might cul
Tillman's throat, and let the far
mers select the best man or mei
in the State from among the far
mere and the old defunct politiciani
would soon find another mountair
of objection. May God have merci
upon such patriotism that is onli
patriotic when well paid ; loyal s<
long as it can rule. Felloy
Democrats of South Carolina, le
us-stand together ; we must worl
together, that we may maintaii
our white supremacy, that we maj
keep our hold upon national affair
and be able to ward off iniquitoui
national legislation. I am nc
politician, have never run for offic<
and never expect to, but I am i
Democrat, and am one to such ai
extent that if it was in the wisdon
of the Democratic party of Soutl
Carolina to place D.H. Chambei
lain or J. Hendricks McLane, o
even A. C. Haskell at the head o
the ticket, I would swallow then
like a man, and hurrah for whit
supremacy.

A TILLMANITE TALKS.
Colonel Onzts May Run for the |
House from Old E (leefield.
Col.D. A. G.Ouztsof Edgefield,
[the large and popular traveling!
salesman of the Atlantic Phos
Iphate Company of Charleston,
was in the city yesterday. Colonel
Ouzts was seen at the Grand Cen
tral by a Register reporter and |
upon being interviewed on the
political situation said that he
was not exactly in poltics this
year, but that everything was lovely I
and that the regular Democratic
State ticket, with B. R Tillman
for Governor, would be renomi
nated and overwhelmingly elected j
this fall.
"Colonel, will yon be in tho
race again ror the Legislature]
from Edgefield this summer?'
"Well." replied Colonel Ouzts,
"that depends altogether upon
I whether I will be able to make a
j canvass of the County. I have
been very strongly and personally
[urged to enter the arena but as yeti
have not fully consented to do so.
j I cannot deny my services to my
people should they see fit to re-j
quest them."
Colonel Ouzts is one of the most
I popular young men of Edgefield,
! and an uncompromising reformer,
and rendered as much valuable
services to the success of the
reform party in 1890 as any man
connected with the party and
I will make an able member of the
j House ot Representatives. Should
he enter the field the young
Democracy of old Edgefield will,
it is said, rally to his support.
